Chapter 20: One Day We Will Be Emperors

The sun rose on the Tuesday morning of the 8th March. At the port, the crew of HMS Liberator was waking up to the alarm of 0600 hours; Admiral Smith was in his quarters, just waking up. He stood up and walked to the window and looked towards the city; meanwhile in the barracks of the Warriors field, the platoons of men and women were preparing for the embarkation; General McFarrison was suited up and prepared his gear, as well as Sergeant Bolter, Grantis, and Vaughanork. Also in the air base, aircraft and their squadrons went through preparations as they sorted their gear and headed to the aircraft.

Meanwhile on Zator, Corporal Dom Hercules inspected the aircraft and pilots of his squadron; at the hanger was Supreme General Josef Schnarber "So you're the once Ace pilot Hercules" he said as he started to mock Hercules, "But now you're just a little Corporal with no power...", Dom interrupted the General "At least I still have a squadron that has been hand-picked by the Great leader, and not having to pick unworthy, no-confidence infidels", once Hercules made the remark Josef thrust him to the wall; Josef had his sword drawn an inch away from the neck of Hercules "Now you listen to me very carefully" Josef said in a threatening voice tone of voice, "At least my men have been trained by me, I can tell you now that these boys can hit a target, unlike your fly boys who can't hit anything to save their lives", then Josef withdrew his sword and left; it looks like it won't a smooth ride between Hercules and Schnarber.

"Full ahead" said Admiral Smith "plot a course for Molicous"he ordered; the fleet left port and sailed three mile out to sea; they lifted off towards Molicous. "This is it... the liberation begins" said Shaun. Admiral Smith replied "We are now the freedom fighters, The Space Liberators".

Meanwhile in Zator, Dom Hercules was planning a possible coup that could see him attempt to take control of the Empire of Germanica. He conveys his plan to his second in command Copious Zeus, "One day my friend we will be Emperors of the Great Germanican Empire and rule the entire universe" said Hercules, "How are you going to do this?" asked Zeus; Hercules answered "Well you're going on shore leave tomorrow;" Zeus nodded, "I want you to deliver this... to an old friend", Hercules gave Zeus a list of instructions, at the bottom of the list it reads 'Kill Dolan Litmah'; Zeus looked at Hercules...
